It’s been a great experience taking part in the unveiling of the A93 TRUCK at the official launch party that took place on Wednesday, 20th March at @moleculedxb, @D3Dubai.

The event hosted a massive line-up of amazing local stars in Dubai varying from dope MC’s to DJ’s and Dancers also at the event we had lots of retro arcade games and activities to bring back all that 90’s feel!

About the Event:

After wowing Dubai with the reveal of the Reebok #A93Truck last night, consumers across the city can now take part in celebrating the return of the ’93 Aztrek and the decade in which it was born as the truck makes its way across Dubai.

Honoring the era, the opening night was the very essence of 90’s nostalgia, reminding all in attendance what it feels like to be back at a 90’s house party – a time of inclusivity, self-expression, and boldness. Taking on the mic to welcome the A93 to the region with a hip-hop performance was rising-star Moh Flow followed by legendary DJ Lethal Skillz with more local-talent surprise performances including DJ Alysha and singer Robn.

Fast forward to today, the Reebok #A93Truck is making its way across Dubai stopping in at three locations around the city before steering the 90’s vibe into Riyadh and Jeddah in April.

In addition to having a retail space for consumers to shop Reebok’s 90’s inspired products, including the all-new Aztrek, the “Pimp-My-Ride” inspired truck will be stacked with retro throwbacks and a series of different activations free-for-all to attend.

DJ Lethal Skillz

Since the early 1990s, Lethal Skillz has been holding it down as one the Arab world’s elder DJ statesman – earning the title as the oldest and most established turntablist in the Middle East and North Africa. He was the first to push turntablism as an art form in the Middle East and has continued to be one of Arab hip-hop’s most notable cultural ambassadors – having traveled the world representing Lebanon and the Middle East hip-hop through literally hundreds of community DJ workshops, free concerts, b-boy events, and through his own work as a prolific radio host.

Having grown up as a child of the Lebanese Civil War, he was the first Arabic judge for the DMC World DJ Championship GCC Battles hosted in Dubai (2007), and he has sought to use his influence in hip-hop to sow the seeds of peace and empower the community through the pillars of hip-hop culture with an unyielding commitment to keeping DJ culture alive and kicking with a new generation of youth -wherever he goes.

For over 20-years he’s also been producing and releasing music with two seminal Arab hip-hop albums to his credit- New World Disorder (2008) and Karmageddon (2012) – which features nearly everyone in the Lebanese hip-hop scene past and present and many of Arab hip-hop stalwarts from the region and Diaspora. Skills has also collaborated musically with the likes De La Soul, Dr. Dre and Snoop producer Fredwreck, Booty Brown and The Pharcyde, The Outlaws and Hussein Fatal (2Pac Shakur’s crew), and most of the pioneers of Arab hip-hop both in the region and Diaspora including Omar Offendum, The Narcycist, Shadia Mansour, Eslam Jawad, Malikah, Ramallah Underground, Qusai, MC Amin, Arabian Knightz and many more.

More about the Musicoin and the Mobile App

>The long awaited moment is here, I would love to share with you today that MUSICOIN has finally released the first official version of the Musicoin Mobile App (V1), Unlocking the true power of Blockchain for listeners and music creators.

What if musicians could be compensated fairly and automatically on a world-class streaming platform? What if fans and listeners could play their favorite tunes for free? Musicoin is a pioneering example today of what blockchain could do for the entire music streaming business tomorrow. Version 1 of the app is now free to download on the App and Google Play stores.

Musicoin conceived a new form of shared economy in which every contributor gets paid for their contribution. Universal Basic Income (UBI), Musicoin’s fair revenue model for musicians and fans, stems from the platform’s forward-thinking development powered by the blockchain.

The promise Musicoin has made is twofold: to compensate musicians fairly on the Musicoin blockchain, allowing direct automatic payment in $MUSIC — Musicoin’s own cash transferable cryptocurrency. At the same time, fans can browse, play, and share music for free, no subscription fees or ads while supporting artists directly.

>”The Musicoin Project started from a simple philosophy, to remunerate creators because they shared valuable creations. The philosophy, dubbed as Sharism, is leading our products design, development, and delivery to all stakeholders.” Isaac Mao, Founder.

Enticing numbers reveal how Musicoin plans to shake the global USD 17 billion music business. Today, 5,500 musicians, 77,000 tracks, 7,500,000 streams and 10,200,000 tips (an exclusive feature available on the app that shows support from fans to a track or artist) have made Musicoin an early success.

Founded by innovative leaders in both the music and the blockchain worlds, the Musicoin project is the first of its kind to have launched a solid and beautifully designed app, which fans and musicians can start enjoying.

“Finally we have a platform which allows musicians to be paid fairly. This was long overdue, maybe even 50 years.” _Ben Gyles, Mobile App Developer._

The app, combining a top-notch blockchain service with a traditional streaming platform, allows fans and musicians to participate together, without intermediaries. It features:

Player — play, pause, rewind, fast forward a track

Search — search a track or artist

Browse by genre — browse music from a genre list

Artwork — add image/visual representation for a track

Queue — play music from a queue/local playlist

Artist of the week — Features the new Artist of the Week

Tipping/UBI — Tip track with UBI

“Musicoin (app) is not merely designed to compete with another streaming platform, it’s designed to revolutionize our mindset of fairness.” Gibran Septya, Designer.

Musicoin is the only streaming app emerging from blockchain technology with a scalable, sustainable vision. The team will continuously refine the product along the year, adding more features (speed enhancements, personal login, playlists…) as well as building up a global community and empowering artists.

Fair Play!

Rap Crypto and Hip Hop The Blockchain Anthem is not your average Hip Hop songs, these song marks the first generation of real Hip Hoppers who truly believe in the blockchain technology and the change that it’s bringing and shaping the future of humanity moving forward. These songs are about bridging the cultures of Hip Hop, The Blockchain and Crypto worlds and an invitation to our fellow humans to join this Epic Revolution.

Rap Crypto was released back in 2017 by my favorite crypto rapper @vandigital and the person who got me into the Blockchain world, and it was one of the first crypto rap music I bumped into in the blockchain space that is informative, educational and entertaining at the same time to sing along with, also I think this is the most song I remixed cause I personally love it and in a way was educational for me at the beginning of my Blockchain journey.
